Question

I have no idea what the heck evaluate means

Answer 1

Evaluate basically just means to solve.

Replace the given vaule of m into the equation to get -8/2.

Then solve.

-8 divided by 2 is -4

Answer 2

Here is your equation:

$\frac{m}{2}$

In the question, you are given that m is equal to -8. Substitute m with -8. Here is your new equation:

$\frac{-8}{2}$

Now, all you need to do is divide. Remember:

MULTIPLYING

• Positive(+) times negative(-) is equal to negative
• Positive(+) times positive(+) is equal to positive
• Negative(-) times negative(-) is equal to positive
• Negative(-) times positive(+) is equal to negative

DIVIDING

• Positive(+) divided by positive(+) is equal to positive
• Positive(+) divided by negative(-) is equal to negative
• Negative(-) divided by positive(+) is equal to negative
• Negative(-) divided by negative(-0 is equal to positive

In this question, you're dividing a negative number by a positive. That means the answer will be negative. Divide:

$-8 \div 2 = -4$

Your answer is -4.
